BONNEVILLE COUNTY — Multiple agencies continue to battle the Henry Creek fire as it enters it fourth day.

There are several pockets throughout the Henry’s Creek and BlackHawk areas that are not covered by the BLM, Idaho Falls Fire Department or the Bonneville County Fire District.

Idaho Falls Fire Department responded to the initial 4-acre fire on Saturday evening.

On Sunday, smoke was reported near the same area. Due to strong winds, dry fuel, and low humidity, the fire spread rapidly.

The Brue of Land Managment, Idaho Falls Fire, Bonneville County Fire, Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, Shelley Fire, Ucon Fire, Ammon Fire, and Central Fire District have all assisted at point or another.

Contrary to rumors on social media, the city of Idaho Falls states that at no point during the Sunday operations did the Incident Commanders turn away any local fire departments who came to help.

Fire personnel has been very appreciative of private individuals who have coordinated their efforts to safely fight the fire on private lands.

Tankers, planes, and additional equipment steadily arrived throughout the day on Sunday and Monday and positioned themselves tactically to fight the rapid growing fire.

The fire is now being managed as a Unified Command between the Bureau of Land Management, Bonneville County Sherriff’s Office and Idaho Falls Fire Department.

Crew will continue to arrive to help fight the fire throughout out the day.
